Bangphae Mini Marathon 2026 – Ratchaburi, Thailand

Bangphae Mini Marathon 2026 returns to Bang Phae district, Ratchaburi, on Sunday 20 December 2026, with 5 km and 10 km community road-running options based at Bang Phae Pathom Phitthaya School. The school's alumni association, the school and the Ratchaburi Provincial Sports Association are named as the organisers on the current registration service. This is a local district race, not a Bangkok city marathon.

What to expect

The event promotes the area through its distinctive "walk and run, enjoy the scenery, explore the fields and eat prawns for good health" theme. Bang Phae's agricultural scenery and local food culture are part of the appeal. Organiser publicity also mentions a walking street, music, cultural activities and possible discounts at local food shops, accommodation and Na Satta Thai Cultural Park. Such extras depend on participating businesses and should not be regarded as guaranteed entitlements for every runner.

Distances and booking

• 5 km fun run: THB 500 for a standard public entry.
• 10 km mini marathon: THB 500 for a standard public entry.
• The live Regis.run event page also offers distinct student and VIP package registration choices, but does not publicly expose their current prices or inclusions in the event overview. Confirm those at checkout rather than relying on prices advertised for a different edition.
• The registration site still offers booking choices as checked on 24 October 2026; this does not establish real-time remaining capacity or a final closing date.

Important edition warning

Search results also contain a different Bangphae Mini Marathon advertised for 1 March 2026, with early-morning starting times and historical fees. Do not use its timetable or old registration deadline for the 20 December 2026 event. The current registration provider and its linked official Facebook page explicitly identify 20 December and the school venue.

Race-day planning

Exact December flag-off times, course maps, race-pack collection arrangements, student/VIP benefits and entry deadline have not been independently confirmed from the current organiser listing. ARC's midnight calendar time is a date-only placeholder, not a verified race start. Check the official Facebook page before travelling. Allow additional time to reach the school in Bang Phae district, and follow any updated parking and local traffic directions.
